Its members seem very qualified to take over the duties that fall to the “top class next year. So the By-Hi would like to list some of their many accomplishments of the past year. The class was made up of 5 boys and 13 girls and had a very capable staff of officers. The class president, Wayne Hagan, did a very good job for his third straight term. In addi- tion to Wayne, the officers included Sally Walker as vice-president; Mary Vanstone, secre- tary; Gene Reber, treasurer; and Dolly England and Kenny Boyer as representatives to the Student Council. The social calendar for the year included one of the main school events, Christmas Capers, which was held on December 16. The dance was a success in all ways. Theldon Myers's Orchestra and the very fine job of decorating led everyone to compliment the class for a “job well done. Everything added up to an evening of fine entertainment. The next social gathering was the annual banquet which the juniors sponsored for the seniors. The banquet was held at the Y.M.C.A. Lodge in Rockford on the evening of May 26. It was unique in that entertainers were hired to perform following the meal, whereas usually the group would attend a movie. The entertainment received everyone's whole hearted ap- proval, and all agreed that they had a wonderful evening. A glance at school activities shows that the juniors played important roles. In the agri- culture department Gene Reber served as president of the F.F.A. In football, Boyer, Hagan, and Myers all proved their capability as linemen. During the basketball season Boyer and Myers filled regular positions on the Tiger squad. Walker, Oltmanns, Featherston, Hagan, and Kennedy all played major roles in helping Byron's speech department gain success in contests this year. Worman, Shelton, Heidenreich, Walker, Featherston and Wallin were all members of the band. — 22 —
